Sailor — текст песни (Rod Stewart)

(R. Stewart / R. Wood)

You ain`t gonna get me honey no way
Tearing down the highway in the pouring rain
escaping from my wedding day
I heard the bells ringing in the local church
the ceremony`s nearly under way
Telegrams came and the cheap champagne
was driving everybody out of their brains
But I convinced my best friends I lost my nerve
and I pleaded I was being framed

Sailor show me which way to go
I screamed out loud
Sailor show me which way to go

Such a deadly silence
due to my defiance
the wedding ground to a halt
Said I changed my mind
ain`t no use in your trying
so her brother punched me in the throat
her mother got hysterical
the bitch was cynical
father`s in the corner drunk
Picking myself off the floor
I ran to the door
damned if I was skippin` on my way

Sailor show me which way to go
You should have heard the noise
Said Sailor show me which way to go

So keep clean girlie
find a man that`s truly
gonna love you from dusk till dawn
Keep your front door key
don`t give him up for me
`cause tomorrow I may be gone
You see, your wouldbe keepers
( ) all night creepin`
nobody gonna change in there
Who thinks a marriage life should be like a dog`s life
so let`s renew it when the year runs out

Sailor show me which way to go
Sailor show me which way to go

She had a belly full of lust but she had no bust
